Incase anyone is wondering, SMAW (Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon)..It has a small 9mm spotting rifle mounted on it. It fires 9mm tracer rounds (Mk 217 Mod 0) that follow the same trajectory as the rocket. Once the operator points the tracers onto the target, the rocket is fired.

„Should we incorporate a range finder and BDC into the sighting mechanism?“

„Nah, just add a gun that fires a tracer round with tuned ballistics to match“

Long time ago, somewhere probably.

That’s so badass! Didn’t know a SMAW could do that!

Some dumb insurgent thinking they’re only firing bullets at them.

That’s the weirdest weapon if ever seen.
